FAQs

Question

Where’s the venue?

Answer

Google Maps does not take you to the correct address! These are the exact coordinates that should get you to our venue, 38.355178, -88.342656 the McCleary’s house. The street address is 700 County Highway 6, Fairfield, IL, but again, that does not always work when using Google Maps. Apple Maps does usually register the street address and work properly! Alternately, you can type in “Wayne County Humane Society” and the McCleary’s home is located 1.7 miles south on the Burnt Prairie Blacktop on the left hand side of the road. It is a two story brick home with white columns in front and has two red barns. There will be signage posted to help you find it also. If you need help locating the venue day of, please call 618-927-5901.
